Nintendo Power To Reach Its Very Last Issue

I been with the magazine since 1996 and it's a bit sad to see it go (I'm sure most are happy with it seeing all the criticisms I read)


With news going around on the internet faster than people can tweet it, I guess magazines will no longer be needed.

Sad to see it go, i have fond memories of when i would read Nintendo Power in middle school, reading all about the new and upcoming Gamecube at the time.

Still most recently i have been a bit dissapointed with the magazine, so i am not gonna miss it too much.

Holy crap! I forgot all about that magazine. Yeah, I don't think I've read or even seen an issue in over 15 years.

Maybe buy a full page ad in the last issue. A big GR logo, a massive explosion in the background, Mario giving a thumbs up and the sites address. I accept your thanks in advance.

This is horrible news Really devastated honestly. No jokes here. Me and my girlfriend has had a sub for a very long time. This is really sad.

I'm still waiting for the news when EGM finally goes down. They did for a while then came back up. The most biased and inaccurate magazine I have ever read.

It's also 281st not 281th. I felt my mouth go kind of numb after reading it like that.

Yeah I began reading it as Two Hundred Eighty First, then halfway through 'saying' it in my head I realized what was actually written.

It ended up coming out as Two Hundred Eighty Fwunth. This makes me laugh every time I say it aloud. Try it!

Depressing.... Didn't fmread magazine too much but I remember it from my child hood.... Just like how they changed voice actors in starfox 64 3d..... I guess **** just changes as years go by

There was a time when it was a ritual to get Nintendo Power, but I stopped around 2004 when I ceremonially transitioned over to PC gaming. I got to say that the last few issues I scanned through while trying to waste time at the mall were absolute rubbish! Certainly the crown wasn't passed on at the time when some key figures departed from that publisher... I agree with Nintendo on this one, but I hope they will pay some homage to the hypnotic power which NP used to hold over us back when it meant something to hold a magazine in one's hands... RIP old friend!

I remember throughout my childhood wanting to get Nintendo Power but my parents never would get it for me, even just one issue. Eventually, by the time I was fifteen, Nintendo announced that Zelda Collector's Disc, with Zelda, Zelda 2, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask on it, as a bonus for subscribing to a year of Nintendo Power. Being Princess Zelda's Royal B*tch, I HAD to get it. Finally convinced my mom to get me a subscription, though in my mind it was more like ordering the Zelda disc and getting a year of the magazine for free.

I had fun reading the magazine, but never saw any reason to renew it for the magazine's sake. Sad to see the magazine finally go, though in recent years it hasn't been nearly as good as it used to be.

PC GAMER!!!! CAUSE OF DEMO DISKS!!!!

There is a used game store in Austin that sells demo disks that came with magazines for a few bucks. I would buy like 10 at a time and get to try out everything.

Not sure how to take this but....I could play demo disks for weeks. Same levels, same everything.

That was like oxm back in the day and then when 360 came out the disk could play Xbox demos and 360 demos
